What to charge your clients

[eyecandy]

I get asked several times what the going rate is for a full-set and what of price a refill costs.

There are several things to consider with pricing your full-sets
1. The type of full set you offer (how many lashes)
2. How long it takes you to do a full set
3. The Cost of your products
4. The Area in which you offer the services
5. Other salons in the area offering Eyelash Extensions

Generally speaking a full set of lashes
costs anywhere between $100-$350 a full set
My cheapest full-set is $180 (1.5 hrs) and a 3 hrs set costs $330

Lash fills can be charged either by time or per lash.
Personally, I believe every client wants as many lashes as
possible. So I charge $66 per hour and put in over 30 extensiosn per eye. I apply as many lashes as possible in the time I have allocated to that client in my appointment book.

This is just my charges, obviously it varies on your situation.

What's everyone charging ?

Hi Eyecandy,

I charge $199 for a full set. This is typically 40-60 lashes per eye.
The price goes up for my Diva Lashes which are $250+ 60+ lashes per eye.
Full set takes me about 1.5 to 2 hours. Diva about 3 hours.

Products I get from a number of sources but I typically buy extra lashes when they are sale to hold me over until the next sale one of my suppliers.

Our area is varied demographically and I cover approximately 30 miles from my salon for customers. There isn't a lot of competition for eyelash extensions. In many cases when clients come in for hair serices I stop to chat about extensions. They've never heard of them.

Sounds like I'm not charging enough. I'm new to doing lash extensions. I started doing a full set for $100 as a special offer. I got a few regular clients from that special, but I still struggle to do a full set in 2 hours

Bonnie, How many lashes do you apply for a full set?

[Bonnie]

Clarity, I'm putting bout 45 in each eye. I would like to be able to put 60, but need more clients to get faster.

When I want to practice I use strip lashes glued to a piece of paper. Also, I offer specials every month so clients can win free lashes. This gets me more people in my chair, most of them come back as regulars for fills. The free sets get me more practice clients

[Bonnie]

Thanks for the great idea!.
I've been practising on my boyfriend and then removing the lashes, but he won't let me do it to him anymore

Bonnie, My husband said no from the start. You're lucky that your boyfrend let you apply them at all.

I charge 200 full set which is a 2 hour appt. How many I apply goes by what I have to start with and what the client wants for a look.
60/ fill and thats usually 1 hour.
My handful of people who got them done when I first started do 40.00 fills
